Friendly, thank you so much for letting us know. This is an absolute shock to me, as one of her cyber friends on SA7.
I am so very sorry you had to pass on this news, but I am so grateful to you.

Thank you, friendly, for the information. We have been very concerned, as Ruby had mentioned bronchitis that she thought was getting worse. Thank you for finding a way to notify her many friends here in "Sudokuland." She will be missed by all of us.

Thanks, friendly. I too am in shock.

RIP Ruby.

Thank you for letting us know..

RIP Ruby.. you will be missed.

Oh Ruby,
thank you friendly.

You must be a good friend to take the trouble to let us know. Our heartfelt condolences to her friends and family. Thank you friendly.

Poor Ruby - it was only recently I said Hi to her while Gail was taking a video. So sad.

Thank you 'friendly'. Ruby had many friends here who were worried.

Friendly, there is a youtube video on my page, which was made for Ruby (as we know her) back in October.
Please let her friends know about it, they might get a chuckle out of it.
We made it because Ruby was always wanting to hear 'our accents', but as we kept telling her, we don't have any!

The most recent pic in my picture gallery was a sign post to Ruby, a village in South Gippsland, Australia. I took it to show Ruby that the place really did exist.

Ruby was a great online friend. I rejoice at her gifts to us and pray that she remain in everlasting peace.

Dino, so well said, thank you.
As I said on SA7
"Yep very slow site tonight,
another passing to another plane, we all have our expectations of what is to come but we must remember to celebrate the life that she lived. Without that we would have missed something important in our lives."

Thank you friendly - what a shock. We had noticed that she had been missing.
RIP Ruby of the SA pages

Friendly thank you so much for letting us all know about Ruby.

this has come as a great shock to our close knit cyber family. Ruby was part of an extraordinary network of people introduced to each other by a love of sudoku. We have shared our lives, our joy and our grief. We have laughed together...we have commiserated when misfortune has struck. Now we unite in grief.

Although most have never met we have grown to care deeply for each other as we have got to know each other better. It is hard to explain to others the bond we share. You must have had some idea to have gone to this trouble to let us know. Thank you very much.

This was possibly Ruby's last contact with us all on the 8th December.
"Hello, all. I'm having a bad run of bronchitis now and just crawled out for albuterol. Please pretend I have made appropriate comments. Back to bed."

She will be missed. May she RIP.

Ruby will be greatly missed by all of us on this board. She touched our lives in many different ways. We shall all miss her greatly.

Thank you Friendly, for letting us know of her passing.

friendly for contacting us about Ruby - she was so special to us.
You were so very kind to recognize how much she meant to us. I want to welcome you to join us in the Sudokuholics Annonymous 7 pages (where we grew to know and love Ruby). It can be found under the Forum heading. As others above have mentioned...it is a place where we found each other and bonded with our daily events. The page is open to one and all. Please feel free to stop in and visit with us.
Again - my deep gratitude for you and your efforts to inform us about Ruby.

thank you friendly for letting us know about the death of our friend ruby. what a shock! i thought she was so funny. she spurred on quite a conversation about accents! she will be missed here and especially on SA7. our hearts go to her and her friends and family.

friendly, I would like to extend my deep gratitude to you for thinking to let us know of Ruby's passing. She was a significant part of our "Sudokuaholics" community and was known for her wit and compassion and knowledge. Only a month or so ago I had asked for her help with punctuating a quote that included a question. She quickly responded with her answer. She had written a week or so ago about difficulty with bronchitis. Bean (about 5 or 6 comments above) quoted Ruby's last comment to us here. We have all been concerned for her health. May our "Ruby" from Ruby rest in peace! I would like to extend sincere condolences to her family and friends.

Very early this morning when I first learned of Ruby's death, I searched for and submitted some angel avatars. Luckily they were approved quickly. I wanted to post again with my little Christmas angel in honor of Ruby, one of the newest angels.

I am saddened by the news of Ruby's passing. Even in death, she continued to teach by having shared the need to have us learn of her death...Friendly, thank you for alerting us to the sad facts. I extend the invitation that you join us and learn more about us and share the love and concern that drives this sire.
I raise a glass in memory of our Ruby..may she rest in peace!

What sad news. Ruby was part of our Sudoku family and will be greatly missed.
May she rest in peace.

Dear friendly
Thank you so very much for letting us know.
even though we had never met in person, we have all become friends on this site, and I was very sad to hear of one of our friends passing,
Please pass my condolences to her family and friends, RIP Ruby

Friendly, as you can see by the response, Ruby (Mary) was a very good friend to many of us, and a part of our sudoku community, as Kathy mentioned, we are a 'family'.
If you happen to see this before her funeral, please let her family know she is loved by many from all over the world.

I would like to reflect all the comments above; I could not have said it any better.
RIP Ruby.

Friendly... Losing Ruby/ Mary Anne has brought it very much to mind that we really do feel like a family here, but the one we would have chosen if we could. Ruby is already very much missed here. I can only imagine how much she is missed there. Our love and best wishes to all of you.

Thank you Friendly for letting us know. I was worried about Ruby and had been praying for her. Although it may be difficult to understand the connection we feel here on Sudoku, I considered her a true friend through all of her postings on SA. May she rest in peace. Thoughts and prayers for all of those who knew her. God Bless!

All I can add to all the above comments is my sadness at ruby's passing. My thoughts are with her family and friends.

Thank you for letting us know.

Thank you Friendly. My thought's are with all of Ruby's loved one's and I was sad to hear of her passing.

I echo the above sentiments. RIP Ruby, you will be missed.

Dear Friendly. I have just heard the very sad news of Rubys death.I'm very sorry for her family and friends and also want to thank you for letting us know.

Thank you for letting people know and creating this page Friendly. Ruby will be missed by many.

Remembering our 'Ruby' on this, her first birthday since her passing.

Again Friendly, I must thank you for being the bearer of sad tidings.

We rejoice in the memory of Mary Anne
